Hi Volks,

Ding ding ding.... We have a winner!!!!

After sitting for about 14 hours, I went out this morning and turned it
over... the oil light promptly went out and the noisy lifter sound is gone.

Thanks everyone for their assistance. I am much relieved that I am not
having to do the job over today.

Now I'm heading back outside to wash the residue off the rear hatch and
enjoy a nice spring afternoon!

Happy Trails,
